1. Botlink Software Download and XRD2 Registration

First things first, to get your XRD2 up in the air, you’re going to need to create an account with
Botlink, download our Relay app (that’s what allows for communication between your GCS and
the XRD), and you’ll need to register your device.

1.1 Create a Botlink Account

To create an account with Botlink, go to

https://app.botlink.com/auth/signup

to sign up for a free

account.

Note - Make a record of your email address and password, as you’ll need these credentials to
log in to Botlink Relay (which is used to connect your XRD2 to your ground control software).

Note - Be sure to use an email address that you have access to, as there is an email sent where
you’ll need to confirm your email address.

Go to your email account, and click the “confirm email” button

1.2  Install the Botlink Relay software

The next step to using your Botlink XRD is installing the Botlink Relay software. The Botlink
Relay software enables you to connect your ground control station to your Botlink
XRD-equipped drone without any modifications.
